Investment Highlights
Currency
CAD denominated.
Reference Share
The common shares of Simon Property Group, Inc. listed on the NYSE (NYSE: SPG).
Cash Flow
The Notes offer the opportunity to obtain monthly Coupon Payments equal to the Coupon Amount of $0.60 per Note if the Reference Share Return on the immediately preceding Valuation Date is greater than or equal to -25.00%.
Call Feature
The Notes will be automatically called by CIBC on a Call Date if the Reference Share Return on the Valuation Date immediately preceding such Call Date is greater than or equal to 5.00%.
Variable Buffered Downside Protection
If the Notes are not automatically called by CIBC and if the Reference Share Return at maturity is negative, the Notes provide principal protection at maturity if the Reference Share Return is greater than or equal to -25.00% on the final Valuation Date. If, however, the Reference Share Return is less than -25.00% on the final Valuation Date, the Variable Amount will be equal to the product of (i) the Reference Share Return plus 25.00%; and (ii) 133.33% (which will be negative in these circumstances and will result in a loss of a portion of the Principal Amount at maturity), subject to a minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note.

Investors will not have any right to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Reference Share. The annual dividend yield of the Reference Share was 4.66% for the 12 months ended August 20, 2021, which would represent aggregate dividends of 23.30% over the five year term of the Notes, assuming the dividend yield remains consistent and the dividends are not reinvested.

Hypothetical Examples
The following hypothetical examples show how the Coupon Payments and the Maturity Amount would be calculated under three different scenarios. These examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as an estimate or forecast of the performance of the Reference Share at any time during the term of the Notes or the return that may be paid on the Notes. The actual performance of the Reference Share will be different from these hypothetical examples and the differences may be material.
Hypothetical Scenario #1 with no Coupon Payments payable and the Notes are not called prior to maturity
In this hypothetical scenario, the Reference Share Return was less than -25.00% on each Valuation Date. Accordingly, the Notes were not automatically called by CIBC prior to maturity and Investors would not be entitled to receive a Coupon Payment on any of the Coupon Payment Dates. The Variable Amount at maturity will be -$4.00 per Note, calculated as the product of $100.00 x (-28.00% + 25.00%) x 133.33%, as the Reference Share Return is less than -25.00% on the final Valuation Date. In this example the total cumulative return is -4.00% (which is equal to an annual compounded return of -0.81%).

Hypothetical Scenario #2 with Coupon Payments payable on thirty-one Coupon Payment Dates and the Notes are not called prior to maturity
In this hypothetical scenario, the Reference Share Return was below 5.00% on each Valuation Date and the Reference Share Return was less than -25.00% on twenty-nine Valuation Dates. Accordingly, the Notes were not automatically called by CIBC prior to maturity and Investors would be entitled to receive Coupon Payments on thirty-one Coupon Payment Dates (aggregate Coupon Payments of $18.60 over the term of the Notes). The Variable Amount at maturity will be the product of $100.00 x 0.00%, as the Reference Share Return was greater than or equal to -25.00% on the final Valuation Date. In this example the total cumulative return is 18.60% (which is equal to an annual compounded return of 3.47%).

Hypothetical Scenario #3 with Coupon Payments payable on forty-two Coupon Payment Dates and the Notes are called prior to maturity
In this hypothetical scenario, the Reference Share Return was greater than or equal to 5.00% on the 42[nd] Valuation Date and the Reference Share Return was greater than or equal to -25.00% on forty-two Valuation Dates. Accordingly, the Notes were automatically called by CIBC on the related Call Date following the 42[nd] Valuation Date and Investors would be entitled to receive Coupon Payments on forty-two Coupon Payment Dates (aggregate Coupon Payments of $25.20 over the term of the Notes). Since the Reference Share Return on the 42[nd] Valuation Date was greater than 5.00%, the Notes will be called prior to maturity and the Variable Amount will be equal to $0.00 per Note, calculated as the product of $100.00 x 0.00%. In this example the total cumulative return is 25.20% (which is equal to an annual compounded return of 6.63%).

if the Reference Share Return on the immediately preceding Valuation Date is greater than or equal to -25.00%, the Coupon Payment will equal the Coupon Amount; and
-
if the Reference Share Return on the immediately preceding Valuation Date is less than -25.00%, the Coupon Payment will be $0.00 per Note.
The total Coupon Payments payable to Investors over the term of the Notes will not exceed $36.00 per Note (based on $0.60 per Note payable on each Coupon Payment Date). No Coupon Payments will be paid on a Coupon Payment Date if the Reference Share Return on the immediately preceding Valuation Date is less than -25.00% or if the Notes have been automatically called by CIBC on a preceding Call Date. There is no guarantee that any Coupon Payments will be paid during the term of the Notes.
Call Feature
The Notes will be automatically called by CIBC on a Call Date if the Reference Share Return on the Valuation Date immediately preceding such Call Date is greater than or equal to 5.00%.
Reference Share Return
The Reference Share Return will be a number (positive or negative), expressed as a percentage, determined as follows:
(Share PriceVD – Share PriceID) / Share PriceID,

where:
-
the “Share PriceVD” will be the Closing Price on the applicable Valuation Date; and
-
the “Share PriceID” will be the Closing Price on the Issue Date, provided that if the Issue Date is not an Exchange Day, the Share PriceID shall be determined on the next following Exchange Day (in which case references to the Closing Price on the Issue Date shall be deemed to refer to the Closing Price on such next following Exchange Day),
subject in each case to the provisions set out under “Market Disruption Events, Adjustments and Substitutions and Extraordinary Events” in the Prospectus.
Maturity Amount
Investors will be entitled to receive on the later of (a) the fifth Business Day following the final Valuation Date and (b) the Maturity Date (the "Maturity Payment Date") (or on a Call Date, if the Notes are automatically called by CIBC prior to the Maturity Date) in respect of each Note held by such Investor, an amount (the “Maturity Amount”) equal to the sum of (i) the Principal Amount and (ii) the Variable Amount, which will either be nil or negative, subject to a minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note.
Variable Amount
The Variable Amount for a Note is an amount equal to the product of $100.00 multiplied by the following:
-
0.00%, if the Reference Share Return is greater than or equal to -25.00% on the immediately preceding Valuation Date; or
-
the product of (i) the Reference Share Return plus 25.00%; and (ii) 133.33% (which will be negative in these circumstances and will result in a loss of a portion of the Principal Amount at maturity), if the Reference Share Return is less than -25.00% on the immediately preceding Valuation Date.
If the Notes are called by CIBC, Investors will not be entitled to receive any further return that they would have otherwise been entitled to receive if the Notes had not been called by CIBC.
Secondary Market and Early Trading Amount
The Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange or quotation system. CIBC World Markets Inc. (“CIBC WM”) intends to provide a daily secondary market for the sale of Notes to CIBC WM, but reserves the right not to do so, in its sole discretion, at any time without any prior notice to Investors. Under no circumstances will CIBC WM provide a secondary market for the Notes on or following a Valuation Date for the Notes if the Notes will be called by CIBC on the applicable Call Date. No other secondary market for the Notes will be available. Any sale in the secondary market may be made at a price less than the Principal Amount and will reflect the deduction of an early trading amount of 3.42% per Note initially, declining daily by 0.038% to 0.00% after 90 days. A sale of Notes originally purchased using the Fundserv network will be subject to certain additional procedures and limitations established by the Fundserv network.
An Investor who disposes of a Note to CIBC WM in the secondary market will generally be required to include in income as interest the amount, if any, by which the sale price exceeds the Principal Amount of such Note. Investors who dispose of a Note prior to maturity should consult their own tax advisors. See “Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the Pricing Supplement.

This document should be read in conjunction with the short form base shelf prospectus dated November 5, 2019 (the “Prospectus”) and the CIBC Pricing Supplement No. 1,697 to the Prospectus dated August 27, 2021 (the “Pricing Supplement”).
An investment in the Notes involves risks not associated with conventional fixed rate or floating rate debt securities. None of CIBC, the Dealers or any of their respective affiliates, associates, or any other person or entity guarantees that holders of Notes will receive an amount equal to their original investment in the Notes or guarantees that any return will be paid on the Notes (subject to the minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note) at or prior to maturity of the Notes. Amounts paid to holders of the Notes will depend on the performance of the Reference Index. An investment in Notes is not suitable for a purchaser who does not understand (either on his or her own or with the help of a financial advisor) the terms of the Notes or the risks associated with the Notes and with structured products, options or similar financial instruments generally. See “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus and “Certain Risk Factors” in the Pricing Supplement.
The Notes will not constitute deposits that are insured under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act or any other deposit insurance regime designed to ensure the payment of all or a portion of a deposit upon the insolvency of the deposit taking institution.
The principal amount of the Notes will not be fully guaranteed and, subject to the minimum Maturity Amount of $1.00 per Note, will be at risk. As a result, Investors could lose substantially all of their original investment in the Notes.
CIBC WM intends to provide a secondary market for the sale of Notes to CIBC WM but reserves the right not to do so, in its sole discretion, at any time without any prior notice to holders of Notes. There is no other market through which the Notes may be sold and purchasers may not be able to re-sell Notes.
CIBC WM is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CIBC. By virtue of such ownership, CIBC is a “related issuer” and a “connected issuer” of CIBC WM within the meaning of applicable securities legislation. See “Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus.
